David Kessen

The suspension of flights from Robin Hood Airport to Sharm el-Sheikh has been extended, airline bosses have revealed.

As a result of Foreign and Commonwealth (FCO) advice, Thomson Airways says the cancellation of further outbound flights from the UK to Sharm el-Sheikh will now cover the period, up to and including Wednesday December 9, 2015.

All customers booked to travel to Sharm el-Sheikh in this period will be provided with a full refund or can amend to any holiday currently on sale. If the new holiday is taken before the end of April 2016 we are also offering a £30 per person discount.

Customers travelling to Sharm el-Sheikh up to and including December 31 2015 will be able to amend their booking to any holiday departing by the end of April 2016, without incurring an amendment fee.

A discount of £50 per person is available if customers amend to one of the following holidays:
